''Axe Murdering with Hackley'' is a HorrorComedy movie by Tim Sanders.

Since TheEighties, Hackley (Allen Hackley) has been the biggest name in slasher murder there's been. On top of the world, Hackley practically set the standard by which all future slashers have been judged.

Today, however? Well...

The genre's gone on so long that Hackley seems to have lost his edge. People know how to counter killers now, and Hackley's murder quota's suffering as a result. Doesn't help that his boss at [=RKS=], El Matador (Trey Huguley), is making him stick to tactics and moves that are the main reason he's having so much trouble. Worse, his main opponent at work, Rival (Justin Habersaat), is able to rake in the killings no problem in spite of those limitations.

Either way, Hackley is determined to make Employee of the Month.

The movie was released on May 6th, 2016.

!!''Axe Murdering with Hackley'' contains examples of:
* ConfessionCam: Hackley's Vlog.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Hackley can do this, being a StockSlasher {{Expy}} of Jason Vorhees. In this day and age, though, people know he can't do this if at least one person keeps an eye on them.
* RiseFromYourGrave: In the prologue, after Hackley is supposedly killed, we see his hand burst out of the ground.
* StockSlasher: [=RKS=] is staffed with plenty of them.
* TimeSkip: The movie's prologue is stated to happen in 1984-and-a-half. Then it jumps to the Present Day.
